It seems Meriel-called Merry-looks exactly like the wife of
Lord Giles, Earl of Warborough, whose legendary heroism has
long sent a thrill down Merry's spine. Giles's cold,
unfaithful wife is known to be a spy for the Dutch. Coerced
by the British king's spymaster, Merry takes the traitor's
place as a double-agent-with the aim of delivering false
intelligence to the waiting Dutch.
But Merry's dangerous
mission only fans the flames of her smoldering desire for
Giles-even as Giles is overtaken by passion for a "wife"
who's suddenly become all he ever wanted.
